My doc sells "unjury" Protein. It's 23 grams per shake and complete whey Protein. It's not bad- the have vanilla, chocolate, chicken Soup, unflavored. I don't particularly like the strawberry. vanilla with vanilla light soy has been my favorite so far. You can prob find online.
Also a new brand called "nectar" it's the same but in flavors like Cappuccino, fuzzy navel, and tea.

Starting this week!

Hey guys!!
Update on me- did my VERY FIRST 5K today!!
It was the color run in Orange beach.. Walked most of it but I'm so proud of myself!

If I can do it, we all can! Pretty sore but so worth it

Any advice for muscle aches?
I noticed the more activity/ working out I do I feel as if I have growing pains ALL over my body. Today I did my first 5k... Very proud but very achy!! Hurts everywhere. Been getting at least 60 grams Protein. So not sure? Calcium? Taking my
Vitamins too.
Thanks guys!

Hey guys! I had Gastric bypass march 3 and have lost a total of 21lbs do far. I'm on stage 3 soft/puréed with shakes.
Can you explain to me what I stricture is? I've seen it mentioned here and there and I've started having a problem.
As I said before I'm on puréed foods now. I've been tolerating things fine until yesterday when I tried tuna. Puréed it and are about 1/4 cup. After I felt as if a rock was stuck. So I figured it was having a hat time digesting. I walked around, drank Water etc. now even when I drink Water I can feel it at a certain point pass something and it kinda hurts/ is uncomfortable. Did I just push it to far or what is the deal?
I was feeling so much better and now I feel like crap! My muscles hurt, I'm dehydrated (cause it hurts to swallow) and I just want to cry.
Help friends!
Chelsea

That sounds awful!! I am so sorry!!
Have you spoken to your husband about it? Maybe you guys need to try to focus on eating healthier as a family in general... That way it's not
so hard on you. I'm a week and a half out and I'm doing so much better. Not as depressed and starting to feel like "me"
I'm also allowed soft food now so it helps. Try getting a bariatric surgery cookbook- I got one from Amazon and it's created for us AND our family's so they can eat well too and it so good!

No you aren't. I'm 4 days out from gastric bypass and just miserable. Nauseated, dizzy, pain. Not to mention gas times a million and bloated. Having trouble drinking, haven't even tried to eat yet...
I read on one of my packets that sometimes the patient get a little emotional or depressed after surgery, but it passed.. I sure hope so cause I'm feeling rough. Also found out I can't tolerate dairy... The hard way. So now my shakes with soy milk. Yum..

Pretty good as I'm munching on my Protein pop lol a bit nauseas and dehydrated but going to try to drink drink drink today.
Haven't been sleeping well (muscle cramps?)
But it's a new day!

Thanks guys! I called the doc and he upped my Lortab dose, it seems to be helping

I would say at least 2 Protein Shakes a day if you aren't getting enough through food. That's what my NUT said at least. You need a MIN of 60 grams a day of protein.. (Yeah right) but I can manage at least two shakes which is about 46 grams.

I get "unjury" fro my doc. It's made for people like us. Lots of flavors- even Soup. Probably can get online on Amazon.

Thanks guys. My stomach was sooo messed up last night after my skim milk shake. So I'm staying FAR from milk. Will try almond or coconut milk I suppose. For now... Mixing with Water only. I have a few shakes from the doc that can be mixed with water- fuzzy navel, Cappuccino, and tea flavored. So I'll still with that for now.
